Yan San waited left and right in the banquet hall and didn't see Zhong Ying come out, so he asked people to go and see what was going on.

The man who had been sent soon returned, reporting the situation in his ear with a complicated expression.

Yan San's face sank, and he was about to stand up, when he received an inquiring look from the old man Yan on the other side.

So Yan San walked over, bent down and said what he heard in Old Man Yan's ear concisely.

Old Man Yan frowned slightly, but his expression did not change.

Five minutes later, Yan San came to the stage, first thanking everyone for being able to attend his engagement banquet, and then apologetically saying that his fiancée was ill and couldn't come out to greet everyone, please bear with me.

Then the dishes are served.

Mai Li and Zhou Yiyan glanced at each other, and they both saw suspicion in each other's eyes.

Zhou Yiyan said: "Zhong Ying was fine in the morning, and she specially borrowed a whole box of jewelry from me, waiting for the evening to be in the limelight, why did she suddenly feel sick?" ”

Mai Li also nodded and said, "This is a strange hug." ”

Zhu Xiuyu kept his promise to peel shrimp for Mai Oak, and after a while, the small plates in front of Mai Oak were filled with shrimp meat.

Mai Li turned his head and looked at it, startled, Zhu Xiuyu actually brought the whole plate of shrimp to him, slowly peeling the shells one by one, not caring at all that he had become the focus of everyone's attention.

"What are you doing?" Mai Li instantly felt embarrassed and embarrassed.

Zhu Xiuyu smiled confidently, "I'm peeling shrimp for my baby." ”

Oak: "......"

Zhu Xiuyu graciously brought a freshly peeled shrimp to her lips and said softly, "Ah." ”

Zhou Yiyan: "......"

Guests at the same table as them: "......"

Oak moved his chair away with a blank face, pretending not to know him.

"Baby, you can't do this to me." Zhu Xiuyu leaned over pitifully and was pushed away by Mai Li.

Mai Li pretended to have amnesia, "Hey, who are you, I don't know you." ”

Zhu Xiuyu put the peeled shrimp on her plate and said affectionately: "I am your husband." ”

Zhou Yiyan: "......"

Mai Li showed him his expressionless face, "Don't talk nonsense, we don't know each other." ”

Zhu Xiuyu said: "I have evidence that we know each other, you know where you have a mole on your body. ”

Before he could finish speaking, Mai Oak stepped on his foot.

Zhu Xiuyu: "Whoa! ”

Zhou Yiyan: "......"

Is this the legendary flirting?

Just as she watched their interaction with relish, a waiter came over, leaned over, and said softly, "Miss Zhou, Old Lady Yan has invited you to the VIP lounge." ”

Zhou Yiyan was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand why the old woman wanted to see her, so she sat and didn't move.

The waiter had no choice but to add, "It's something related to Miss Zhong Yingzhong." ”

Zhou Yiyan suddenly thought that Yan San had called Zhong Ying "sick" on stage before, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Could it be that Zhong Ying is in trouble again?

Zhu Xiuyu and Mai Li both stopped playing and turned their heads to look at each other.

Zhou Yiyan said: "I'll go back when I go." ”

Oak asked, "What's going on?" ”

Zhou Yiyan shook his head, "I don't know either. ”

Mai Oak said, "Or I'll ...... with you."

Zhou Yiyan pressed her shoulder and said, "No, the old woman Yan is also here, she should be fine." ”

After finishing speaking, he left with the waiter.

At the entrance of the corridor leading to the VIP lounge, two black suits stood and stopped the waiter.

The waiter told them that behind them was Miss Zhou, the person whom the old lady Yan had specially invited.

"I'm sorry, Miss Zhou, please come with me." One of the black suits led her way, signaling for the waiter to leave.

Zhou Yiyan felt more and more that things were not good.

A good engagement banquet, what else can Zhong Ying make?

There were also two black suits standing at the door of the VIP lounge, looking heavily guarded.

Zhou Yiyan couldn't help but open her mind, could it be that Zhong Ying still has a husband in her hometown who is married to someone else, knowing that she is going to get engaged to someone else today, so she came all the way to take Zhong Ying away, and the clinker was just between them pulling, and the old woman Yan broke the J love, so there was a scene where Yan San lied that she was sick?

"Old woman, Miss Zhou has arrived." The black suit respectfully asked for instructions outside the door.

After a while, someone inside opened the door.

Zhou Yiyan walked in and found that this lounge was quite spacious, with a thick carpet on the floor, and the lights on the ceiling were all turned on, and the lights were bright.

There was an old woman sitting on the sofa in the center of the lounge, wearing an elegant cheongsam, her hair was pulled into a loose bun, her appearance was dignified, and her temperament was graceful.

She looked like she was in her early thirties, but Zhou Yiyan knew that Mrs. Yan was in her forties, to say the least.

"Good evening, Mrs. Yan." Zhou Yiyan stepped forward and greeted with a smile, deliberately ignoring Zhong Ying, who was standing aside and looking at her for help.

Mrs. Yan looked Zhou Yiyan up and down, and smiled slightly, "Good boy, sit down." ”

After Zhou Yiyan sat down, he said unhurriedly: "I used to have a few encounters with Mrs. Zhou in Juyazhai, and I could talk to her very well, she often talked about you in front of me, and I treated you as my own junior." When I saw it today, it was really very kind, so you can call me Aunt Yan. ”

Zhou Yiyan then called her "Aunt Yan" in a kind way.

Mrs. Yan asked her a few more words about He Fengying's current situation, and Zhou Yiyan answered them one by one, but she was beating a drum in her heart, what did Mrs. Yan want to do when she invited her here?

Mrs. Yan saw her doubts, so she stopped going around in circles, pointed at Zhong Ying and said with a smile: "I know that you and Yingying are good friends, Yingying told me that she works in your house and is very cared for by you." ”

Zhou Yiyan felt awkward when he heard this.

But he still smiled and said, "I have also been cared for by Yingying before. ”

Mrs. Yan nodded, and then said slowly: "It seems that your relationship is extraordinary, and it is not wrong for me to invite you over." ”

Zhou Yiyan asked anxiously, "What happened?" ”

Mrs. Yan looked at Cao Yijia, who was standing with her hands hanging down on the side, "Didn't you always want to explain before, let's talk about it now." ”

Zhou Yiyan had actually noticed this richly dressed young woman from just now.

also secretly guessed in her heart that she might have something to do with Zhong Ying's illness.

Cao Yijia stepped forward, glanced at Zhong Ying out of the corner of her eye, and then said softly: "Maybe it's just a misunderstanding, I lost a pair of earrings not long ago, and I saw Yingying wearing it when I was in the lounge just now, so I asked her more when she bought it, who knew that she was angry, maybe she misunderstood what I meant." I really didn't think that she stole the earrings, he was the girlfriend of the third brother, if she really liked this kind of gadget, the third brother would definitely buy it for her. Just now he said that he bought it himself, not the third brother, so I was curious, this earring is a new product of the season, while supplies last, these have been a few years, where did he buy it? Then Yingying explained to me that he didn't buy it, but borrowed it from a friend. Then I was confused, I bought it myself for a while, and borrowed it from a friend for a while, which one of these statements is true? I also asked this sentence, but Yingying got angry and started. ”

Zhong Ying had been trying to refute when he said it, but when she saw Mrs. Yan's cold eyes, she didn't dare to speak after all.

Zhou Yiyan listened to Cao Yijia's words, and already had a plan in her heart, knowing that it was the misunderstanding caused by the jewelry box she lent Zhong Ying.

Just now she saw Cao Yijia looking well-behaved and lovely, and she was still wondering if she was Mrs. Yan's youngest daughter, the well-behaved daughter of the Yan family, it turned out that she guessed wrong, she was actually Yan Er's wife.

But I heard that Yan Er married a young lady from a scholarly family, why did this one want to do something as soon as he opened his mouth?

kept saying that he had misunderstood, but kept pouring dirty water on Zhong Ying's body, and he almost shouted to catch the thief directly.

Mrs. Yan was so shrewd, how could she not hear the meaning of her words, but she only smiled faintly and was noncommittal.

"Jiajia is finished?" Madame Yan glanced at her.

"Well, that's it." Cao Yijia snorted.

When she said that a long time just now, she was also a little daughter-in-law, and her face deliberately carried a little bit of innocence of a little girl who didn't understand the world, just looking at her appearance, she really thought she was so pure and harmless.

Mrs. Yan turned to Zhong Ying and said softly, "I think you seem to have something to say, so let's talk about it." ”

Zhong Ying saw Mrs. Yan's kind face, and really thought how amiable she was, so she directly had something to say, pointed at Cao Yijia and said, "Mom, second sister-in-law, she framed me!" ”

Mrs. Yan: "......"

Cao Yijia: "......"

Before they even passed the door, the name had already changed.

Zhong Ying saw Cao Yijia's complicated expression, and seemed to be shocked by her words, and suddenly felt a little happy in her heart.

She made persistent efforts and continued: "The second sister-in-law relied on her good background to look down on me and pick on me everywhere. But Mom, didn't you say that the most important thing for a girl is her character, although I am from a poor family, I also know shame, abide by etiquette, behave in a proper manner, and ask myself to be worthy of heaven and earth. ”

Zhou Yiyan: "......" is so righteous and awe-inspiring.

Mrs. Yan also listened to the black lines on her head.

Cao Yijia touched the goosebumps on her arm, and said unbearably: "You said that I framed you, so what did you say I framed you?" ”

"You framed me for stealing your earrings!" Zhong Ying said with a sad and indignant face, "Don't you just think I'm poor and can't afford decent jewelry?" You're a rich man, aren't you? Act like a snob! ”

Two other rich people present: "......"

Of course, Zhou Yiyan would not sit down by herself, but Mrs. Yan obviously didn't like to hear such words, and her face changed imperceptibly.

Cao Yijia naturally found out, hooked the corners of her lips, and scolded in her heart, idiot.

Mrs. Yan looked at Zhou Yiyan, "Xiaozhou, it really makes you laugh, but with my friendship with Mrs. Zhou, I have never treated you as an outsider, so there is nothing to be ashamed of." Now you know the ins and outs of the matter, just for a pair of earrings, you come over to see if this pair of earrings is yours. ”

Zhou Yiyan didn't need to look at it to know that it was hers, but since Mrs. Yan asked her to take a look, she could only go and see it.

She picked it up and looked at it for a moment, then nodded: "That's right, it's mine, Yingying borrowed my jewelry box this morning, and there are these earrings in it." ”

Mrs. Yan was slightly surprised, "This box of jewelry is all yours?" I thought it was a dowry from Mrs. Chung. ”

Then he looked at Cao Yijia and asked her lightly, "Did you hear that?" ”

Cao Yijia said: "Miss Zhou can call her mother and aunt, naturally she will say anything, how dare I doubt it?" But I'm still a little curious, Jing En just mentioned to me a few days ago that Zhou Da Shao borrowed money from him, not much, just tens of thousands of yuan, and Jing En thought he was joking. Now that I think about it, Zhou Dashao is really humorous. I see that these gold and silver jewelry add up to more than 100,000 yuan, Miss Zhou has such spare money to buy jewelry, how can the family be short of money. ”

When Zhou Yiyan heard that Zhou Yao borrowed money from Yan Er, he couldn't help but be stunned, and he was shocked in his heart, not knowing what he wanted money for.

And He Fengying didn't mention it when she talked to her on the phone recently.

Mrs. Yan said, "Then now the misunderstanding has been solved?" ”

Cao Yijia said: "I now know that Yingying's jewels are borrowed from other people's lights, no wonder, I said that I haven't seen her wear it on weekdays, why did she suddenly wear gold and silver tonight." Then he turned his head to look at Zhong Ying, "Then you can't blame me for misunderstanding you, if anyone sees your 'out of nothing' change, they will want to be crooked." But I should also blame my mouth for not holding back, saying whatever comes to mind, and not caring about Yingying's feelings at all. Yingying, I want to apologize to you, don't blame the second sister-in-law, ha. ”

Zhou Yiyan thought to herself, where is this an apology, it is clearly sarcastic.

Before Zhong Ying could say anything, Mrs. Yan spoke first, "Yingying is naturally not a stingy person. ”

Zhong Ying still dared to say anything, so she could only say: "It's okay, it's a misunderstanding, forget it." ”

Cao Yijia immediately took her hand and said pretendedly: "After the engagement banquet, we will be a family sooner or later, if you need anything, just talk to me, such a small favor as borrowing jewelry, why bother Miss Zhou, what if I give you a few things." ”

Zhong Ying said: "Thank you second sister-in-law, I don't know what the second sister-in-law is going to give me?" ”

Cao Yijia said that, but she didn't expect Zhong Ying to be cheeky and ask her for it.

Zhou Yiyan almost couldn't hold back his "poof" laughter.

Zhong Ying's face is comparable to a mille-feuille cake, it's best not to be polite to her, she will always take it seriously, or make it true.
